It really should be though. I know WWE's model is totally different now than it was in the 80's and 90's, then everything built up to selling PPV's because that was the highest chance of big big pay days for the company and everyone involved. Every show that WWF had, had to build to the pay per view.
Now and since TV rights deals have come into play, the foot is off the gas creatively and WWE sits fat and happy with no reason to push themselves. The Rumble could be a true masterclass in storytelling, why not? You want to make it something super important that leads to something even more important. You can base the whole start of the year off this one match. And treating The Rumble with that kind of creative respect will only give positive returns year after year to fans.
Still, so many fans watch The Rumble that don't watch WWE normally. Wouldn't it be smart to try and hook them with something really great so that maybe you can get back some of those TV numbers you've been losing for the past 15 or more years?
